I just checked my bilge install and I have a total of 3 bilge pumps and 2 of them go to the same thu hull.
1) is a manual Whale style hand pump with a 2" ID corrugated hose which is looped and terminates in a 1.5" thu hull 2) is an automatic Rule Pump with a 1" ID smooth wall hose which terminates in a T-fitting into the 2" hose 3) 3/4" hose feeding an electric diaghramme pump which goes out a fitting on the port side only Now for my question; A. Shouldn\t the thru hull be a 2" B. Shouldn't the hose from the automatic pump be likewise looped? c. What is the purpose of the 3rd pumo? Is this required by some building code? When on Stbd tack, it can be useless...
